Midway have released the first footage and demonstration of how their flagship fighter, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon will work with the Wii's unique interface. Producer Ed Boon explains. In a video documentary, Boon discusses how to swing, poke and maneuver your Wii remote and nunchuck to control the warriors as they once again engage in fierce and gruesome battles.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon hits retailers in August 2007.
Looks like an interesting take on the classic fighting setup, paving the way for future titles in the genre. Thanks to our anonymous reader who submitted the tip.
Stay tuned for future media updates.

So easy you'll see your grandmother creating fatalitys
Actually it looks suprisingly good and i'm glad fatalitys are a little easier to produce as on Deadly Alliance I couldn't even do them. Anyway the control system looks simple, but great to use, the visuals look splendid and overall it's not looking to bad. I might just by it.

The future of games is no challenge!
It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.
Soon we can comment on this ya!?!

My god it's a double edged sword here - good in some ways, nice use of the Wii-mote to replicate some of the character's attacks.
However, the facilities look like a piece of piss to do, which in the previous ones came with a nice button pressing combination that made you feel rewarded for pulling it off..
Ah well, looks better than average I suppose!

Well i will be darned, this looks facking great.
Looks really easy and intuitive to play with the Wii remote, kudos to Midway (never thought i would say that).
Glad to see a developer who has sense to use all alternative control schemes.
But i can't see why you wouldn't want to use the Wii remote.

I hate button mashing fighters that needs strings of buttons to be pressed in exact sequence just to pick your nose, it feels like learning binary code.
This system could still be confusing though if you have to learn strings of arm flailing.
The motion detection needs to be spot on aswell.

Whoa, that actually looks decent! I wasn't expecting much at all, it's gone from an 'avoid' to a 'rent' for me!

Lol, but just look at how dodgy the fatalities look - it seems like beating off your Wiimote in timed order to pull it off! The regular moves seem pretty interesting to do though, would be worth giving it a try..

Really, I've seen it enough around the forums. Where can you rent Wii games?

That's why it's only a rent for me, the fatalities.

Hmm, does look pretty decent actually, and the inclusion of conventional controls is always good for games like this.

How does it work Mason, and can you keep it for as long as you like?

I think this looks awesome! I'm not too bothered about the fatalities as I never could do the old ones anyway.

No problem. They should give me it free for a month, the amount of people I've told about it. 
Oh, there's a 10 day free trial as well.

I think people were just expecting crappy literal controles like wiiboxing or that dragon ballz game on the wii but it looks allright and seems to respond well in the video.
I think it's just better than what most people were expecting hardly a must have though.

So much for the days I would spend memorising moves and then the weeks trying to pull them all off. It just looks so easy now. No more button mashers, we have now entered the age of 'flailers' where all you have to do to win is have a fucking seizure.

Looks amazing and the optional support for gamecube controller and classic controller is brilliant. More games shud be like that tbh.

Now thats looks good. I was expecting playing beat em ups on the Wii would be poor but that shocked me. Its good that they let you play the traditional ways aswell. I can't wait!

But at the end of the day, it's still Mortal Kombat, which is a cheap game for 5 year olds.
